CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid reported Friday afternoon that President Donald Trump was handed his first "win" by the U.S. Supreme Court, and it "is significant."

According to the High Court ruling, Trump can block $65 million in Department of Education grants that were earmarked to help states with teacher shortages.

"These grants were allegedly targeted because they contain some DEI initiatives," said Reid, referring to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

2. I'm an old white guy

I’m a member of the old white guy caucus. I’ve yet to find one thing wrong with a DEI program. It pisses off peckerwoods and other white trash. That’s all the proof I need that’s it’s a worthwhile program.

4. all the right's "fake outrage" over DEI is just a distraction....

mostly to distract their own base

3. There's more to be decided.

The SCOTUS majority has said that the aggrieved states can still sue to obtain the blocked funds if it is determined through further proceedings that awarding the money was not discretionary by the Department of Education.

How the money was allocated seems to be the central issue in deciding whether the President has the power to cancel these particular teacher recruitment grants.
